Yes, RGBA or RGB Short is correct (half is some kind of HDR format I think)

I always use openEXR, because Photoshop can't open iff, and when rendering from the viewport the tiff files are sometimes corrupted - there seems to be some bug, but I think that's actually on the Photoshop side - not sure. You might be fine with other applications.

I have no experience with tga, but they are supposedly 16bit capable...

Just give it a try.

Yes try tga. exr are built for the purpose of using 32 bit images. I think tiffs should work its odd you have problems.

Goodluck
